A variant of this, a three way translocation, t(8 14 18), has also been identified.

Some children without Down syndrome may inherit the translocation and have a higher risk of having children of their own with Down syndrome.

In this second random process the DNA will be scrambled in a way that pieces are omitted (deletion), added (duplication), moved from one place to another (translocation) and inverted (inversion).
